Two teams with a history of falling short in the NCAA tournament are set to face off in the Final Four. Only two victories stand between each squad and a national title. Here is everything you need to know about their current matchup:

He is the third-most productive player in this game and that’s why he’s the X-factor. His success or failure to match his average of 16.6 points and 4.7 assists a game will swing the game’s outcome either way.

Everyone will be talking about the showdown down low, but Taylor possesses the ability to take over on the perimeter.

But on that note…

Key Matchup

Thomas Robinson vs. Jared Sullinger will be an epic matchup.

This is must-watch television, folks. Two future NBA stars go head-to-head in the biggest game of each player’s basketball career. Robinson averages 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds a game while Sullinger averages 17.6 and 9.1.

Whichever big wins this matchup will likely lead his team to victory.

Prediction

Robinson is the best player in the nation, so he’ll win that matchup. His performance will give the Jayhawks the edge in a thriller over the Buckeyes.

Kansas 75-74
